Aluminum alloys are relatively difficult to weld primarily due to aluminum鈥檚 high thermal conductivity and the formation of defects during welding including porosity and solidification cracking. In shipyards that perform aluminum...
Although copper is the metal that is longest used technologically by mankind and aluminum one of the shortest, in both industries a variety of melt treatments and sometimes similar technologies were ...
The friction stir welding process was developed by TWI (Welding Institute in Cambridge, UK in 1991) for joining aluminum alloys. During friction stir welding, a joint is made between...
The introduction of continuous casting of thin aluminum strip based on AA 1050 and AA 8011 causes a fundamental change in the microstructure and therefore physical and chemical properties of the ...
Aluminum is one of the few metals that can be cast by all of the processes used in casting metals. These processes, in decreasing order of amount of aluminum casting, are: die casting, permanent ...
Aluminum casting alloys must contain, in addition to strengthening elements, sufficient amounts of eutectic-forming elements (usually silicon) in order to have adequate fluidity to feed the shrinkage that ...
The article summarizes common additions are used for aluminum alloys, the engineering practice has acquired the following main addition methods for them, and recommendations, which should be kept in ...
